I am a multi-published author turned digital products coach… but once upon a time, not too long ago, I was terrified of technology! I didn’t know a tag from a tripwire from a Tupperware lid. If I can figure out how to love digital marketing, then believe me, you can, too. Together we’re going to discover how to grow your audience and your income with biblically sound business principles that align with your faith and family values.
